Every student appears to in-take information differently. According to this article Apple’s I-pads state that their product is not only helping students with special educational needs but also students at every different level of education and subject. This is all based on a small size sample of studies compared to the amount of students nationwide.

According to one study in a New York special education music class, the I-pad helped the students improve in all aspect of their school life. This class included students with a variety of disabilities, such as: mental, physical, developmental and autistic.  Not only did their communication skills improve but also their grades. Teachers claimed that the students overall skills were strengthened, such as their motivation, social bonds, future dreams and all the other little things that they see on an everyday basis.

   Apple claims that students appear to be improving in all aspects of education due to the use of I-pads. Studies appear to be backing these claims. However, the research is based on a very small percentage of students when compared to the amount of students nationwide. There appears to be a niche in the I-pad/notebook technology world that represents more than 1 billion in annual revenue.

In conclusion, I believe that these apple I-pads do help out students. It helps them improve their overall education and communication skills. I am also certain that they can help out more the special ed students as they have the harder times communicating. However, I also believe that the percentage of improvement is not as much as suggested by Apple. I believe that it is exaggerated so that they can continue to control this niche in the schooling systems.
